But Guy was kind enough to answer me some questions anyway.<br /><br />However I'm very much looking forward to my first game on 21st November!Stefan (aka.

Stealth rules will handle all guards movement untill the alarm is triggered, In the game I played the seal team aproached the hostage, neutralized 3 terrorists before the alarm was raised. They nearly reached safety ..then 2 technicals showed up. One technical bursting in flames by fire form the seal team leader , the last technical ran over the seals killing them and the hostage.... Game will probably play best on a 3'x3' or 4'x4' (for 28mm) with lots of cover to break uo line of sight.JWLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355441863222266278.post-64821381344119378192015-11-08T17:42:58.002+01:002015-11-08T17:42:58.002+01:00Thanks Unknown, I reckon I'll get a copy.Thanks Unknown, I reckon I'll get a copy.

Its the best modern wargame set out there that deals with stealth and small arms combat with easy to use rules and simple design means fun, fun, fun. Can be used for things like "bridge too far", wild geese and all the strike backs.... ghost recon and the up coming division game. etc etc....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03125559491025241888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355441863222266278.post-41784372726189940562015-11-08T11:20:31.167+01:002015-11-08T11:20:31.167+01:00I could still maybe play both sides unbiased to th...I could still maybe play both sides unbiased to the best of my ability then.Paul Liddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671334487545618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355441863222266278.post-45657762830537933042015-11-08T08:00:31.278+01:002015-11-08T08:00:31.278+01:00As fas as I can tell it is not geared towards solo...As fas as I can tell it is not geared towards solo play. Once the alarm is sounded, the game turns into a normal wargame where players have full control over their troops. And even before that the defender has some control, albeir minor, over his troops. So you would need some "AI" to control the defenders.
